New Mutants #22

Age of X - Chapter 2

So, the story from X-Men Legacy moves on.  Carey's story unravels.  Art is not as good here - Clay Mann, who did part 1 is not present, but Steve Kurth is - sorry, don't like the art as much.  The story is still brilliant so far).

Rogue (Legacy - she drains the powers and psyche's of dying mutants) is investigating the escape and return of Katherine Pryde (no shadowcat here !) from the maximum security cells (no saying why she was in there) who returns with a camera.  Rogue views the contents of the camera and breaks in to the cells and discovers Professor X (who she does not know). 

It seems that "Danger", called just "X" here (is there more meaning in this title than meets the eye), runs the "fortress" where the mutants strive to survive against a barrage from the humans on the outside.  She is also  the jailer.  Magneto is the "General", but even he doesn't seem to know why some mutants are locked up in the cells.......

Brilliant so far.  One of the best spin-off's Marvel have done for a long time (well, that I have read) - 'though, Civil War was pretty good too...... (this is different).
